Added by magataganm, 23 Jul 2016 Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer, organist, harpsichordist, violist, and violinist whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra, and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he did not introduce new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, an unrivalled control of harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Probably dating from the Weimar Period, this work conveys a lively tempo with its name, but the main impression it gives is of grandeur and glory. Bach's authorship of this work is disputed. The existing manuscript copy (of whoever's original work) ('not a close copy of a Bach autograph"- Williams, The Organ Music of J. S. Bach, p.194) is labeled "Allabreve con Pedale pro Organo pleno". Source: Musopen (https://musopen.org/composer/johann-sebastian-bach/).< br> Although originally written for Organ, I created this modern interpretation of the All Breve in D Major (BWV 589) for String Quartet (2 Violins, Viola & Cello). Sheet central : | Alla breve in D major (5 sheet music) | |
